Ah Carol, Please do feel better! I know how hard it is to want to do things and feel bad. I have had good luck with the pharmacist help with colds when in Paris! Also lovely, lovely teas are ever so helpful! Of course those nice Ricolas are always good! Feel Better Very Soon!

No fun at all..is this your first French cold?Honey lemon tea for you:-) Ricola...I am saying it in my mind like the commercial:-) What lovely pastries Carol..fun to look at..the cerises de terre..I want some I think for my Easter table..Prends bien soin de toi..

j'espere que tu seras bientot retabli...Snuggle up in your duvet and drink 'hot toddy'.. Best English remedy for colds... Get your self a large mug ..a shot of whisky,juice of a lemon. top it up with v.hot water & stir in a spoonful of honey, et voila, drink as & when required. As you will be in bed you will be able to drink this all day.Get well soon & Stay warm xx

Glad to hear that you're feeling much better Carol, and can get out and about in Paris once more. Desserts are always in as you say. These look to be delicious desserts once more. I'm sure a fruit tart or two would help nurse you back to even better health.

Every Parisian boulangerie and patisserie looks like a painting to me! Those macarons to die for. I hope that you are enjoying a snack or two as you recuperate. Soup, crusty bread and a bit of a purr and you should be back to normal in no time!

Hope you get back your taste and smell very soon. Stay cosy and take it easy. Also, take the medicine - like Baba au rhum and that spicy looking tarte au chocolat looks like it could do the job beautifully.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
